Fernando Alonso remains one of the Spanish drivers who has a large number of followers. Although he reached the top of his career in Formula 1 years ago, he keeps trying to add new successes. This has brought him to Barcelona, where next Sunday he will compete in the Spanish Grand Prix.
His arrival has created great anticipation, and thousands of fans have traveled to the circuit to try to see their idol. Right during his welcome, Fernando Alonso starred in an unexpected moment by signing a baby's back. The unusual autograph took place during a pre-training event where Alonso greeted an enthusiastic crowd.
The baby's parents took advantage of the moment to ask the Asturian driver to sign the little one's back, and he agreed with a smile. Alonso, with his characteristic friendliness, didn't hesitate to leave his signature on the child's onesie in front of all the cameras present. The event quickly went viral, sparking true "Alonsomania" on social media and in the international press.

The impact of the anecdote has been such that even the British team has shared the moment on their social media. "Fernando is available for cap, poster, and baby signature," they posted as a joke.
A true motorsport party atmosphere can be felt around the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Formula 1 fans, especially Fernando Alonso's, are ready to support their idol next weekend.
The truth is that the Asturian driver is going to need all the support possible if he wants to achieve any success this season. So far in 2025, Alonso still hasn't scored any points, although significant improvements have been made to his vehicle.
Despite the difficulties he may face this season, Alonso keeps his hopes alive to score more points. The driver hopes to finish the current Formula 1 season in a prominent position that reflects his effort and perseverance.
What has certainly been shown is the affection he inspires among his followers. He was recently involved in a controversy with a YouTuber. The influencer said that Alonso refused to take a photo with him, and although he understood, others weren't as empathetic.
"Never refuse a photo," another well-known YouTuber advised him. It seems the Asturian has followed the recommendations in his latest public appearance. Not only did he take photos, he signed autographs—even on a baby's back, something very few well-known figures can add to their anecdotes.
